One of the main points of the purchase of food waste disposer

1, capacity

This capacity refers to the capacity of the food waste disposer, basically the larger the capacity, the more garbage can be processed at the same time, that is to say, the efficiency is faster.

So if there is enough space reserved under the sink, try to choose a large capacity, fast efficiency, water and electricity.

2, motor

The motor is divided into DC type and AC type two kinds.

Direct current type motor speed and and torque is higher, so the grinding efficiency is also higher, but idling noise will be relatively larger, often because of the replacement of carbon brushes and unstable state.

The AC type motor speed and torque is a little weaker, but the torque is bigger, that is to say, for the hard bone is more crushing force, the noise is relatively low, the failure rate is also lower. The price is also slightly higher than the DC type.

3, grinding level

1) secondary grinding

When the food waste into the grinding chamber, the knife blade on the disk will rotate impact grinding, preliminary grinding of coarse particles by centrifugal force and the propulsion of the knife head and then the edge of the disk for the secondary grinding.

2) tertiary grinding

Tertiary grinding is based on the secondary grinding, through the grinding disk and stainless steel liner ring between the plane of the gap, the food residues for the three grinding, so that the food waste is more subdivided, and now the tertiary grinding treatment is more common grinding, most of the domestic machines are stuck in this stage.

3) four-stage grinding

Four-stage grinding is based on three-stage grinding, plus a plane grinding, that is, between the two grinding rings and grinding discs constitute two planes of grinding, food waste after this level of grinding, the result is basically in the form of slurry, more conducive to the discharge and unclogging, there will be no potential for clogging of the sewers.

4, single-slot or double-slot

Single-slot or double-slot this is by the renovation of the kitchen at the time of the reserved design decision, whether it is a single-slot or double-slot are able to install the food waste processor.

Single sink is inside only a drain, after the installation of the garbage disposal, in the usual we do not use the garbage disposal, sewage water also need to go through here, is going to affect the life of the garbage disposal. [5]

But some users also responded to the double sink in the processor is not installed in the sink will have the occasional phenomenon of anti-odor, may be related to the use of the brand, so the choice of single and double sink purely depends on personal preference.

5, additional features

In addition to these conventional features above, some food waste processor in order to improve the competitiveness of the processor, but also developed a number of bonus features, such as automatic overload protection, magnetic anti-suction, induction switch, acoustic splash guard, dishwasher interface and so on.

Automatic overload protection means that when the grinding disk is tuned into the foreign matter or grinding overheating, it will automatically cut off the power to protect, which will not hurt the machine, but also improve the safety type.

Magnetic anti-suction is often installed in the entrance of the part of a magnetic ring, able to stop the metal cutlery in the mouth of the sink to avoid accidental entry.

Switches are generally categorized into air switches and inductive switches. Air switches are wired and connected via a hose to a physical switch underneath the disposal, while inductive switches are not subject to installation wires and can be installed according to the user's habits.
